Georgia football players tend to shine when they find new homes. The Bulldogs lost 15 players to the NCAA transfer portal in the 2023 offseason. The Dawgs lost additional talent in the 2021 and 2022 transfer windows.
Former Georgia receiver Adonai Mitchell has played the best of any Georgia transfer to start the season. Mitchell had a massive game in Week 2 as the Texas Longhorns upset the Alabama Crimson Tide.
